Crews are ready to start work on a six-mile stretch of Loop 303 between Peoria Avenue and Mountain View Boulevard. They’ll be expanding the two-lane highway to a six-lane (three in each direction) freeway.

Come this fall, crews will also work on a new multi-level freeway-to-freeway interchange at Interstate 10 near Cotton Lane in Goodyear.

Loop 303 segments between I-10 and Peoria Avenue will start next year.

All of the construction should be complete some time in 2014.
